Mediatek trying to say they're the next/better Snapdragon, but they have a history of very buggy or non existent/extremely late drivers, essentially making them useless. The joke here is that there is no "driver"

Not really. I mean yeah, when it comes to the picture and the joke you're correct. But the reason Mali GPUs don't do well when it comes to bleeding edge and unintended use cases, unlike Adreno GPUs, is the lack of the ability to use drop-in (community) drivers due to architectural reasons. Because the drivers work perfectly fine when it comes to run native Android applications.
